Luckily, dogs are _very_ forgiving. While Evans was off filming a movie, he regularly posted on Twitter about how much he missed his [rescue pup](http://time.com/collection/guide-to-happiness/4870796/dog-owners-benefits/?iid=sr-link2), Dodger, and counted down the days until they could be together again. > [](https://twitter.com/ChrisEvans/status/883751119251492864) > [](https://twitter.com/ChrisEvans/status/897467231977840641) Over the weekend, Evans finally got to go home to Dodger and he posted an adorable video of their reunion on Twitter. It’s chock-full of tail wagging, face licking and laughing, as it shows two incredibly happy friends who are so excited to be back together at last. > [](https://twitter.com/ChrisEvans/status/904357300181323777) The actor described himself as a “dog lunatic” when he spoke to [_People_ back in April](http://people.com/pets/chris-evans-story-of-adopting-his-rescue-dog-dodger-could-not-be-sweeter/). He earned the title after adopting Dodger from a kennel where he was filming a scene for his recent movie _Gifted_. “I snagged him and he’s such a good dog,” says Evans. “He’s just such a sweetheart, he’s such a good boy. He loves dogs, he loves kids, he’s full of love.” Seems like the feelings are mutual. \[H/T [Today](http://people.com/pets/chris-evans-story-of-adopting-his-rescue-dog-dodger-could-not-be-sweeter/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4927245/chris-evans-dog-reunite-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4927245/chris-evans-dog-reunite-video/"},"headline":"See Chris Evans and His Dog Have the Cutest Reunion After 10 Weeks Apart","datePublished":"2017-09-05T20:39:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:47:00.005Z","description":"The two buddies wasted no time catching up after spending 10 weeks apart","url":"https://time.com/4927245/chris-evans-dog-reunite-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals","Pets","celebrities","Chris Evans"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdc8650ede48fe8fb/6988dc68096a9481f669f707/chris-evans-dog.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdc8650ede48fe8fb/6988dc68096a9481f669f707/chris-evans-dog.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Premiere Of Fox Searchlight Pictures' \"Gifted\" - Red Carpet","caption":"Premiere Of Fox Searchlight Pictures' \"Gifted\" - Red Carpet","creditText":"Emma McIntyre—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4927245/chris-evans-dog-reunite-video/","name":"See Chris Evans and His Dog Have the Cutest Reunion After 10 Weeks Apart"}}]}] ```
